When you press the push to start switch and you hear a buzzing/humming sound, it is the motor that has gone bad and CANNOT come on. PLEASE check the motor to see that IN FACT it is bad and that there is NOT SOMETHING foreign somwhere in the blower wheel or elsewhere stopping the system from freely turning

My Hotpoint dryer is seven years old and did the exact same thing. When I got over the anger and the thought of spending 4 or 5 hundred dollars to replace it I started messing with it. I finally decided that since it buzzed when I tried to start it there was current there. The only other thing it could be was the drying cycle knob. I held the start knob and let it buzz while I slowly turned the dryer cycle knob to the right. As I turned through each cycle it would hit "off" and the buzzing would stop and then resume as I moved past the "off " setting. On the third trip around the dryer "started" and has been working since. Maybe something got out of kilter. Apparently the problem was in the knob that controls the drying cycles.
